4) Oleta River State Park (Top-Pick!)
3400 NE 163rd St., North Miami Beach, FL 33160
A 1,043-acre state park on Biscayne Bay, in the municipal suburb of North Miami, Oleta River State Park is your best bet when looking to go on an adventure with Fido in tow!
Best news?
This park is only a 7-minute drive from Sunny Isles Beach via NE 34th Ave/Interama Blvd, FL-826 E/NE 163rd St/Sunny Isles Blvd and Collins Ave!
Enter through the gates of Oleta River State Park, and a feeling of tranquility will wash over you as you emerge into the world of tangled, tidal mangroves inside this protected river estuary.
Considered Florida's largest urban park, Oleta encompasses more than 1,000 acres of greenery set against Biscayne Bay, ideal for kayaking, biking, hiking, swimming, and camping.
At this park, you can bring your pup on the trails and campgrounds with no fuss, but be sure to put it on a leash to avoid mishaps, especially in wildlife areas.
Remember to bring pet waste bags and throw them away in the available trash cans throughout the park.
Cleaning up your dog's waste is mandatory at this park.

A highly-rated, 1.76-acre park popular among dog owners in the area, Northeast Regional Dog Park is divided into two main sections: one for small dog breeds and another for larger ones.
The two areas are fenced and shaded and include site furniture and washing stations to clean and cool off your pups.
The Northeast Regional Dog Park also features water fountains for owners and their canines to enjoy after playtime and plenty of shaded benches throughout the park.
Sit back, relax, and watch as your dogs roam freely in the open, tennis ball-covered fields!
Just take note that the dog park and playground can get a little swampy, and there are several tempting mud puddles around the park, so make use of the hosing stations to ensure that your pup doesn't stain the back seat of your car on the ride back home!
